Face The Climb

In today's episode I dive into the pros and cons to barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and bodyweight exercises. In hopes to provide you with more knowledge around each tool and to help you decide which one you end up wanting to use.

Each of them have pros and cons and I am a big fan of them all! We just want to take into consideration your goals, accessibility, and where you are at in your lifting journey.

Lifting should be done year round to supplement your climbing and for the health benefits. Not just for 2 or 3 months when you are specifically training for a goal. In today's episode I talk about what lifting could look like in a year for two different types of climbers. A general overview to give you a better idea of how it all works when you are lifting and not specifically training and when you are training for a goal.

In today's episode I dive into the differences between strength and power because they are not the same, however many climbers will use them interchangeable to describe what they need to work on. This episode clears up that confusion and not only goes into how strength and power are different but how they are both beneficial to your climbing and athletic pursuits and how to train them.

Many climbers think that lifting will end up making them bulky and gain weight. When in reality that is not the case at all and climbers would extremely benefit from lifting. This episode breaks down that thought of lifting making one bulky and gain weight into what is going on in terms of water retention at the beginning and then the long term of how lifting is energy expenditure just like climbing.

Today we dive into how climbing is not unique compared to other sports when it comes to training and it will actually look very similar to other sports. Especially when it comes to lifting and even when it comes to training climbing fitness on the wall. Climbing is not actually a unicorn when it comes to training.
